Heirloom Tomato Soup with Shrimp & Avocado

Today I am sharing a recipe from one of my very favorite celebrity chefs, Fabio Viviani of Top Chef fame along with a fun new website from Bertolli® Olive Oil, and a news of a very exciting sweepstakes. Fabio has two restaurants, Cafe Firenze and Fiernze Osteria and is the spokesperson for Bertolli® Olive Oil, the number one olive oil brand worldwide, today.

Now for the really exciting part, the Bertolli® Olive Oil Let’s Cook! Summer Sweepstakes. At stake is a Grand Prize trip for four to Los Angeles for a one-on-one cooking lesson with Chef Fabio Viviani, or $5,000 for a kitchen makeover. Other prizes include Bertolli Olive Oils, the Café Firenze Cookbook signed by Chef Fabio Viviani, and Bialetti cookware.

I mentioned a recipe and it is a cold soup that screams summer. I have to admit, this was my first time to prepare or eat a cold soup. I have just always thought soup was supposed to be hot. Not very foodie of me I realize; however, I couldn’t resist trying it. The flavors were so refreshing and I found the soup to be quite satisfying especially in the summer heat.

This soup really couldn’t be easier and that’s another big plus for my crazy-busy summer. I would not hesitate to serve this at a barbecue or family get together. It is bursting with summer flavor and I know you and your guests will love it.

Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with shrimp. Garnish, if desired, with additional fresh basil leaves.

*If using wooden skewers, soak in water at least 30 minutes prior to use.

Enjoy!
